Book excerpt: Few industries evolve as quickly as Wall Street does. And it's The Winner's Circle financial advisors on the forefront of the industry--the ones affecting individuals' lives the most--who must continually evolve their practices, their investment philosophies, and their teams to meet their clients' ever-changing needs. These elite financial advisors--better described as wealth managers--are typically several years ahead of the industry. They begin with an in-depth view of each client's goals, dreams, and overall financial and family situation. With an eye towards how much risk the client can tolerate, they provide customized and comprehensive solutions--solutions that embrace the paramount importance of diversification through asset allocation. And while top wealth managers recognize that strong investment performance is essential, they--and the teams they lead--are perhaps even more committed to building deep client relationships and consistently providing world-class customer service.Who are these top wealth managers, how do they actually run their businesses, and how are they evolving their practices? What kinds of situations do they work in, and how do they build the dedicated teams and far-reaching expertise needed to best serve their clients? When actually investing their clients' money, what resources and research do they rely on, what investment vehicles do they use, and how do they maximize returns while safeguarding their clients' long-term futures? Finally, what approaches do they take to getting to know their clients' hearts and minds so well that they can be certain they are acting in their best interest? For nearly two decades now, industry authority R.J. Shook, founder of The Winner's Circle, LLC, has been answering these and similar questions in his ground-breaking and industry best-selling series of Winner's Circle(R) books, and in the many magazine cover stories and other publications nationwide that The Winner's Circle publishes each year. Barron's magazine calls Shook an industry expert, and relies on The Winner's Circle's expertise for three annual Top 100 Financial Advisor compendiums based on multiple objective criteria and in-depth personal interviews. In this book, The Winner's Circle V, Shook delves deeper than ever into the best practices, actionable ideas, and superior strategies that set apart 14 of the very best wealth managers or wealth manager partnerships. Special emphasis is placed on how these elite financial advisors build ever deeper relationships with their clients, their partners, and their team members, and on how they ensure the best possible investment returns and overall satisfaction of their clients in an increasingly volatile financial climate. A must-read for industry professionals. Financial advisors and other industry professionals can gain valuable insight into some of today's most successful wealth managers and wealth management teams. Everything from their day-to-day practices and investment techniques to how they build superior service teams and prepare for the future is revealed in a personable and user-friendly context. Moreover, it's hard not to be inspired by the personal stories--the challenges and triumphs--of many of these top wealth managers, as well as by the way they give back amply to their clients, teams, firms, families, and communities.An invaluable touchstone for investors. Investors at all levels can learn wealth management techniques and strategies from some of the industry's very best wealth managers. As you see what the very best have to offer, you can gain an understanding of how your current financial advisor measures up, and you can share some of the valuable ideas found throughout this volume with the advisor or team currently serving you. If you're on your own as an investor, you'll gain a much better understanding of the extraordinary, multi-dimensional value that comes from working with a top-notch wealth manager.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple guide to a smarter strategy for the individual investor A Wealth of Common Sense sheds a refreshing light on investing, and shows you how a simplicity-based framework can lead to better investment decisions. The financial market is a complex system, but that doesn't mean it requires a complex strategy; in fact, this false premise is the driving force behind many investors' market "mistakes." Information is important, but understanding and perspective are the keys to better decision-making. This book describes the proper way to view the markets and your portfolio, and show you the simple strategies that make investing more profitable, less confusing, and less time-consuming. Without the burden of short-term performance benchmarks, individual investors have the advantage of focusing on the long view, and the freedom to construct the kind of portfolio that will serve their investment goals best. This book proves how complex strategies essentially waste these advantages, and provides an alternative game plan for those ready to simplify. Complexity is often used as a mechanism for talking investors into unnecessary purchases, when all most need is a deeper understanding of conventional options. This book explains which issues you actually should pay attention to, and which ones are simply used for an illusion of intelligence and control. Keep up with—or beat—professional money managers Exploit stock market volatility to your utmost advantage Learn where advisors and consultants fit into smart strategy Build a portfolio that makes sense for your particular situation You don't have to outsmart the market if you can simply outperform it. Cut through the confusion and noise and focus on what actually matters. A Wealth of Common Sense clears the air, and gives you the insight you need to become a smarter, more successful investor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a practicing emergency physician, The White Coat Investor is a high-yield manual that specifically deals with the financial issues facing medical students, residents, physicians, dentists, and similar high-income professionals. Doctors are highly-educated and extensively trained at making difficult diagnoses and performing life saving procedures.

This book fills in the gaps and will teach you to use your high income to escape from your student loans, provide for your family, build wealth, and stop getting ripped off by unscrupulous financial professionals. Straight talk and clear explanations allow the book to be easily digested by a novice to the subject matter yet the book also contains advanced concepts specific to physicians you won't find in other financial books. This book will teach you how to: Graduate from medical school with as little debt as possible Escape from student loans within two to five years of residency graduation Purchase the right types and amounts of insurance Decide when to buy a house and how much to spend on it Learn to invest in a sensible, low-cost and effective manner with or without the assistance of an advisor Avoid investments which are designed to be sold, not bought Select advisors who give great service and advice at a fair price Become a millionaire within five to ten years of residency graduation Use a "Backdoor Roth IRA" and "Stealth IRA" to boost your retirement funds and decrease your taxes Protect your hard-won assets from professional and personal lawsuits Avoid estate taxes, avoid probate, and ensure your children and your money go where you want when you die Minimize your tax burden, keeping more of your hard-earned money Decide between an employee job and an independent contractor job Choose between sole proprietorship, Limited Liability Company, S Corporation, and C Corporation Take a look at the first pages of the book by clicking on the Look Inside feature Praise For The White Coat Investor "Much of my financial planning practice is helping doctors to correct mistakes that reading this book would have avoided in the first place." - Allan S.

Download or read book Who Rules America Now written by G. William Domhoff and published by Touchstone. This book was released on 1986 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is convinced that there is a ruling class in America today. He examines the American power structure as it has developed in the 1980s. He presents systematic, empirical evidence that a fixed group of privileged people dominates the American economy and government. The book demonstrates that an upper class comprising only one-half of one percent of the population occupies key positions within the corporate community. It shows how leaders within this "power elite" reach government and dominate it through processes of special-interest lobbying, policy planning and candidate selection. It is written not to promote any political ideology, but to analyze our society with accuracy.
